Congestion Control in Real Time Applications

چکیده
The amount of traffic generated by RTAs has increased substantially over the years. RTA will face congestion where there is any form of bottleneck restricting traffic. This will result in packet loss or delayed traffic which is unacceptable for RTAs. Therefore it is desirable for RTAs to implement congestion control mechanism to improve the stability of networks. TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) is a congestion control algorithm that provides a smooth transmission rate for RTAs. TFRC is a congestion control mechanism for unicast flows operating in a best effort internet environment. It is reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows in congested network, but has a much lower variation of throughput over time compared with TCP. In this work we use NS2, the network simulator for simulation of TFRC. TFRC is simulated in different environments, limitations are identified and modifications are proposed.

متن کاملDesigning TCP-Friendly Window-based Congestion Control for Real-time Multimedia Applications
Real-time multimedia applications prefer smooth and predictable throughput to TCP-like abrupt sending rate changes, and this led to the development of TCP-Friendly Rate-based Congestion Control (TFRC). However, we observed a longterm throughput imbalance between TFRC and TCP sources, especially under a low level of statistical multiplexing. We set out to reduce these differences by re-introduci...
متن کاملTCP-friendly congestion control for streaming real-time applications over wireless networks
Congestion control for streaming real-time applications, which need smoothness of the transmission rate, should be transmission control protocol (TCP)-friendly. Moreover, in wireless networks, TCP-friendly congestion control should be based on differentiation of packet losses due to congestion and wireless link error to improve network utilisation. The authors propose a TCP-friendly congestion ...
متن کاملDesign and analysis for TCP-friendly window-based congestion control
The current congestion control mechanisms for the Internet date back to the early 1980’s and were primarily designed to stop congestion collapse with the typical traffic of that era. In recent years the amount of traffic generated by real-time multimedia applications has substantially increased, and the existing congestion control often does not opt to those types of applications. By this reaso...
متن کاملOpen-loop rate control for real-time video streaming: analysis of binomial algorithms
Emerging real-time streaming applications often rely on rate-based flow control. However, congestion control for rate-based applications is typically dismissed as being not viable due to the common notion that “open-loop” congestion control is simply “difficult.” This paper sheds new light on the performance of binomial NACK-based (i.e., rate-based) congestion control and measures the amount of...
